This column is a rant, not a soft, cuddly piece of fluff opinion. It is going to tell the truth like you have never heard it before. To quote Jack Nicholson from the movie "A Few Good Men" - "You want the truth? You can't handle the truth" - but I'm going to give it to you anyway.
So, as your mother used to do to those of you readers who are old enough to remember, hold your nose and take your medicine, because the doctor is in, and he's operating with a chainsaw.
After 35 years in the news/journalism business, from D.C. to Vietnam, I can honestly say that most of the leading Democratic Party politicians and their far-left support groups are traitors to this country. Besides the few who are deceased or out of office, today's DP is loaded with leaders who have sold out this country to the communists, to the Islamofascists and to their egos. Others are just plain stupid, addle-brained and knee-jerk jerks.

The font is tiny.In Internet Explorer click "View" then "Text Size" and select "Larger" or "Largest". To Return the text size back to "Normal" repeat previous step, this time selecting "Medium". Other keyboard shortcuts can be found here.
In FireFox, hold the CTRL key while pressing the + key (key to the left of the Backspace key) will increase the font size. To return text to normal, press CTRL while pressing the 0 (zero) key.

From a review of
Unholy Alliance at Amazon:
****************************************
Communism is dead. Long live Islam!, September 30, 2004
It sounds absurd: why would Leftists make common cause with a religion that is diametrically opposed to everything the Left stands for? David Horowitz explains that it is really quite logical given the Left's first principle: America is evil and anything or anyone opposed to America is good.
Part I of the book is a brief history of 9/11 through the end of major combat operations in Iraq, and the Left's behavior during this time. Horowitz includes the reaction of Katha Pollitt of The Nation magazine: "The flag stands for vengeance, and jingoism, and war." Anthropology Professor Nicholas De Genova of Columbia University said he hoped for "a million Mogadishus." His colleagues objected, not to the despicable sentiment, but because of the bad publicity it brought their "teach-in." Our tax dollars at work!
Part II is the heart of the book: a history of the American and international Left. Horowitz calls them Neo-Communists or Neocoms. The Neocoms of old believed in the Soviet Union the way religious people believe in God. Those who spied for the USSR didn't see themselves as traitors to their country, but rather loyalists to humanity and an ideal of America that's never existed. When the Soviet Union fell, a few of them stopped for some introspection but most pressed on as if nothing happened. Communist historian Eric Hobsbawm put it nicely: "Without the Revolution, my life and my work are meaningless."
Now that they no longer have to defend an indefensible regime, modern Neocoms are simply nihilists. They know what they oppose but they have no plans for the aftermath of the revolution which they still believe will happen. They don't know what they want, but they know what they hate: the United States, capitalism personified.
So why are they allying with radical Islam? Horowitz says that the Neocoms still believe in Marx's dictum that "religion is the opiate of the masses." Once private property is abolished, the need for religion will vanish, and Islamic radicals will stop being Islamic and radical. The only thing standing in the way is the United States.
Sound insane? It is. They are. I highly recommend this book. Horowitz makes the insanity understandable.

We've got the same Grandpa. Hell, so many of us DO and just don't realize it. I mean, THEY were the ones to put up with Socialism from it's very inception in our great country under FDR! No wonder our Grandpas were so cranky! ;) (I'm 45; lost my Grandpa two years ago when he was 82.)True. :) Although my grandmother on my father's side (he's a Republican) thought FDR, JFK, and Der Schlickmeister were the greatest presidents in the 20th century, despite the fact FDR started the Great Welfare Society and Der Schlickmeister gave us the largest tax increase in American history and he and JFK were repugnant creeps! *gak*

His ability to state the obvious is stunning. Too bad 50% of the country cannot read.
